Whether classic or contemporary, open-plan or in a dining room, there’s no greater joy than sharing great food with family and friends – and that’s where your choice of table and chairs add extra fl air… not to mention comfort!


Sarah Giles


F


or many years, a table with matching chairs was de rigueur but now anything goes and a ‘harlequin’ set of mix and match chairs can be a style statement in


its own right, rather than simply suggesting that you’ve begged and borrowed your seating from other people for a large gathering! But avoid mixing different types of wood and keep to an overall style.


Be size wise


Size matters when it comes to dining tables. Allow around 60cm of tabletop for each person if it’s a rectangular table, or about 75cm at a circular one. But be sure there will be enough space surrounding your new dining table to walk comfortably around it, and allow plenty of space to pull out the dining chairs too – at least 60cm, and ideally 90cm, on top of the dining table dimensions. And, of course, if you’re buying an extended table,
